Northern Squash Club Teams Squash

Northern Squash Club runs 11 teams in the Northumbria County Squash Leagues, and play home and away against clubs as far afield as Alnwick to the north, Hexham to the west, Tynemouth to the east and Sunderland and Consett to the south. We currently have 6 men’s teams and 2 junior boys teams in the men’s leagues and 2 ladies teams and a junior girls team in the ladies leagues. Typically, a team will play around 16 matches in a season (mid September through to mid April).

Teams consists of 5 players, ranked in order of playing ability, decided at the start of the season (September). Playing orders can be changed at the mid-season break – around Christmas time. A team match consists of 5 individual ties – each player playing their opposite number in a best of 5 games match. A team earns a point for every individual game won. The winning team the most ties earns 5 bonus points. Therefore, the maximum points that can be earned in a match is 20 points.

The social side is an important part of team squash – post match food is provided by the host club, accompanied by a drink or 2 and plenty of banter.

A list of fixtures and results, and league standings, can be found on the downstairs notice board (behind court 1) or by visiting:
